A GLAAD spokesman emails to confirm that Jarrett Barrios has resigned as the president of the organization over a controversy regarding the organization's stance toward AT&T:

This evening, Jarrett Barrios resigned from his position as President of GLAAD.

I’m sure you might have seen a Politico article that ran this evening regarding GLAAD’s board of directors. I just wanted to let you know there will be an announcement from GLAAD this evening to address those accusations.

What the hell? I never realized that there continues to be this virulent hate against gays, lesbians, ok, the GBLT community, though it sound like a nce sandwich. My forte has been in helping the developly disable.

yeah tell me 2 things, you gheys won't be honest, but anyway, i'll play, now tell me 2 things, what is the percentage of the population that is ghey, and secondly, tell me what percent of those gheys are democrats? answer, please

Well Pablo, you really graduated good and proper from you mommies homeschooling dint you? What is that, GHEY? But if you mean GAY, the answer is about 10% of the population and if you actually did know anything you would remember how there is a large gay group active within the republican party - just look up some old news bits about the republican convention this year. Beats me why any gay would be a republican though - they all solemnly swear to hate gays and deny them every right given to them by the constitution. But you just live your ignorant happy life and remember, never question Mommy and Daddy and NEVER, EVER try to think for yourself.

It's unclear what Pablo thinks he's accomplishing. Exit polling consistently finds that about 4 percent of the electorate identifies as gay--about 1 out of every 20 people. In 2008, the gay vote split 80-19 for the Dems, but in 2010, it split only 68-31 for the Dems.
Now, next time you accuse *gay* people of lying, at least spell the word correctly, bigot.

I am continually saddened by the fact th in this, the 21st Century, there is such a large segment of our population would still actively seek to repress others. These individuals would have been right at home during the worst of the Inquisition! The GBLT community do not want anything to be granted to them, that would adversely affect anyone in the "straight" community!
The GBLT community is not seeking a grant of anything. Granting implies it is some

The office of Republican Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey is claiming that Fox News chairman Roger Ailes is a confidential adviser whose interactions with the governor should remain secret under New Jersey's executive privilege.

What word is missing from all of Ben Smith's articles on GLAAD and Barrios?
"Democrat"
As in, Democrat politician Jarrett Barrios.
A Democrat selling his vote. You can see why Democrat Ben hides that fact.

Obama kills 9 more civilians in Libya, stopping at nothing to kill Gaddafi and get another major kill under his belt. He went in under the guise of protecting civilians. Now he kill them in the name of killing the evil Gaddafi. Obama is the evil dictator. He ignored the advise of lawyers that said he need congressional approval. Now he has killed more civilians and extended a war that would be over without Obama's intervention.

It's always a mystery to me when an organization devoted to a single issue takes some kind of political stand on an issue that has absolutely nothing to do with its core mission.
How anything AT&T does in M&A or net neutrality can be considered "gay" is beyond me. If two dog food companies were contemplating a merger, would the CEO's say "Hey, let's see what the gay position on the merger might be." I don't think so.

I believe our community will come to realize that Jarrett resigned to save GLAAD from any more damage, and he did so in the face of inaccurate media reports, some likely slanderous, and unfortunate Board in-fighting. Jarrett offered himself up for the chopping block. He's proud of where he taken GLAAD; so am I. Mistakes were probably made but not the kind that result in this blog-led character assassination.

For all the cries about 'tolerance' and acceptance, gays are the least tolerant group in U.S. society in my personal experience. In the employment arena a gay employer's mantra is "either gay, or the highway".

ruckus, they do it because they need more of them, simple denomination sicne they don't reproduce. They need to advocate and promote their lifestyle to the young as a clean,healthy,active,fun lifestyle when we all know otherwise.
